Why Walmart?

Walmart has an outsized influence on Southern California and on most communities in
the U.S. Walmart is the world’s largest private company and its practices indirectly and directly affect the lives of millions of people. It pioneers practices of squeezing workers and contractors that degrade
the quality of jobs and because of its size these poor standards become the industry standard.

Walmart Adversely Affects Workers Globally

The long arm of Walmart extends to many countries
throughout the world primarily impacting developing countries and countries where labor is cheap and working conditions are easily exploited. Stories from the Walmart global supply chain illustrate the company’s profound effect on lowering wages and depressing working conditions internationally.
